Tilslutningsmuligheder
The Tzero MKIII offers versatile connectivity to integrate with various audio systems:
- Input på højt niveau: For music systems, connect the included 10-meter high-level cable with Neutrik Speakon Connector directly to your amplifier's speaker output terminals. This method ensures seamless integration with your main speakers.
- Input på lavt niveau: For home theater systems, connect a single RCA cable (not included) from your receiver's subwoofer output (.1/LFE) to the corresponding input on the Tzero MKIII.
- Samtidig forbindelse: The Tzero MKIII supports simultaneous connection for both music (high-level) and movies (low-level LFE), allowing for optimized performance in both scenarios without re-cabling.

Operating the Subwoofer
Once connected, adjust the settings on the rear panel to integrate the Tzero MKIII seamlessly with your existing audio system. The goal is to achieve a balanced sound where the subwoofer's contribution is felt rather than distinctly heard as a separate sound source.
Control Functions (Refer to Figure 3)
- HØJT/LAVT NIVEAU: Adjusts the output level for high-level and low-level inputs. Start with a low setting and gradually increase until the subwoofer blends with your main speakers.
- .1/LFE-NIVEAU: Adjusts the output level specifically for the LFE input, typically used for home theater applications.
- CROSSOVER: Controls the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer's output, ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz. Adjust this to match the low-frequency rolloff of your main speakers.
- FASE (0°/180°): Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer's output relative to your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that produces the most coherent and impactful bass.
- STANDBY/ALWAYS ON: Selects the power mode. "Always On" keeps the unit powered, while "Standby" allows it to enter a low-power state when no audio signal is detected.
Fine-tuning these controls will allow the Tzero MKIII to add textural depth and an expanded soundstage, significantly improving your overall listening experience for both music and movies.
Opretholdelse
The REL Acoustics Tzero MKIII is constructed with high-quality materials and a durable finish, designed for longevity and consistent performance. Regular, simple maintenance will help preserve its appearance and functionality.
- Rensning: For the high-gloss black finish, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dust. For fingerprints or smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for high-gloss surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
- Placering: Ensure the subwoofer is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent vibrations and maintain optimal sound dispersion from its down-firing driver. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the unit, especially the rear panel where the amplifier is located, to prevent overheating.
Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your Tzero MKIII subwoofer, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps before contacting support.
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen lyd | Power not connected; unit in standby; input level too low; incorrect input selected. | Check power cord connection; switch to "Always On" mode; increase HI/LOW LEVEL or .1/LFE LEVEL; ensure correct input is used. |
| Distorted or Boomy Bass | Volume too high; incorrect crossover setting; improper phase setting; poor placement. | Reduce volume; adjust CROSSOVER to blend with main speakers; try both 0° and 180° PHASE settings; experiment with different placement locations. |
| Subwoofer Not Blending | Crossover or level settings are not optimized. | Carefully adjust HI/LOW LEVEL and CROSSOVER controls in small increments until the bass integrates seamlessly with your main speakers. |
For persistent issues, consult the detailed user manual included with your product or contact REL Acoustics customer support.
